  1. How to organize your "brains"

    DeeSki posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    OK, so I have read that there are different ways to organize your "brains" and I believe this means your patient information that you've received on report. I have never heard it referred to this way...

  2. Tips for nurses in their first year of nursing

    DeeSki replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Does anyone have any tips on how to set up a report sheet in order to facilitate good organization? I graduated last week and will start my first nursing job in July. I have read that some nurses...

  5. SHOES: Are Dansko comfortable?

    DeeSki replied to ternerzero's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You definitely have to go try on some shoes for yourself. I saw a lot of negative posts about Nursemates last summer when I was looking. I bought them anyway because they were the only ones in the...

    DeeSki replied to Ari RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I attend Suffolk County Community College-Ammerman campus. Will graduate May 07. I intend to apply to Stony Brook for the bachelor's to Master's program after graduation. Is anybody active in their...

    that green color is pretty hard to read, or maybe its just my monitor. i go to suffolk county community college school of nursing. i'm not sure what the min gpa is, maybe 2.5 but i don't think...

  8. Pinning Ceremony Attire

    DeeSki replied to EmilyCCRN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for sharing those "rules" I love to know the right way of doing things. I have a question regarding wearing the pin. If you are in a nursing position where you do not wear a uniform, possibly...

  9. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    DeeSki replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Maybe the original post was just a vent (that's the way I saw it) but the latter post directed at the person you are writing to is definitely angry in tone and very nasty. I too hope...

  12. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    DeeSki replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Not to start another "fire" but if this was in reference to Danu's post...I actually appreciated it and think I understand where it was coming from. I read many posts but rarely make my own because I...

  13. treating a visitor of your pt? reprimanded for not doing it....

    DeeSki replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a first year (first semester) RN student, I may be putting my foot in my mouth but I do believe that I recently learned that only an RN can ASSESS a patient. LPNs are able to gather data but not...

  14. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

    DeeSki replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks so much for the compassion. After so many years go by (10) nobody quite gets it, that the pain is never gone. I very rarely discuss it with people in person, online is so much easier. Yes I...

  15. TV's ER new NM, Eve

    DeeSki replied to maolin's topic in General Nursing

    Oh but he is soooo cute! He doesn't need a storyline. I miss Carol Hathaway. I remember the very first ER episode. Hadn't she tried to commit suicide?

  16. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

    DeeSki replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I read all these posts and cried my eyes out . It is so amazing to see all of the nurses with so much love and compassion. I have to say I have not experienced that brand of nursing care here in...

  17. Should I become a nurse or a teacher?

    DeeSki replied to TinaRiy85's topic in General Nursing

  18. gr V and gr X - what does it mean?

    DeeSki replied to speedykicks's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure gr i (one grain) is equal to 60 mg. gr v (five grains), gr x (10 grains) you can do the multiplication. No clue what SR stands for. I'm a first semester student as

  19. End of life care

    DeeSki replied to 07student's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nursing student so my involvement with death as a nurse is nonexistent, that said, unfortunately I do have quite a bit of experience with death as a person. Last month my 54 yo Aunt died...

  20. Does anyone need the Taber's Medical Dictionary?

    DeeSki replied to mrod's topic in General Students

    You might consider purchasing the Taber's for your PDA (if you use one). Right now Skyscape.com has a package that includes TAber's for PDA and desktop together. Then you wouldn't need the hardcopy....

  21. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    DeeSki replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have you all noticed the advertisements at the bottom of the screen targeted to whatever the discussion is about? I had to click on this one http://babacaddy.com/ it is for a bottle holder for the...

  22. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    DeeSki replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That is exactly what I was trying to say.

  23. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    DeeSki replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Interesting that you state "Kudos to those of us who can not", I see that as a big difference from those who wont. If a mother tries and can't for some major reason, it is understandable but what...

  24. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    DeeSki replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know if you were addressing my post but the study I was speaking of was actually from Denmark (not Sweden) and it can be found in the May 2002 issue of Today's Science I believe it was...

  25. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    DeeSki replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LOL I just made a LOOOOOONG post, then I thought better of it and hit delete! I guess I might be a secret or at least fairly quiet (unless I'm in the right company or put on the spot) breastfeeding...
